4. The Republican party had high hopes for John McCain, as he was pretty moderate and a war, hero, so he was well liked. Sarah Palin ruined his campaign, and set him up for failure. After Obama won he initially had very positive reviews and the country was in support. Like with most presidents, as time went on he lost much of his support. After 8 years many people on both sides wanted change. Electing Clinton would have meant the same thing for the next 4 years. Good or bad, Donald Trump meant change. Trump promised to fix the problems many believe were created by Obama, (despite whether to not it was actually his fault.) To those who did not like Obama, any change was good change.
3. Although it is important to have a good staff that is well informed and able to prepare you, it is a politician’s job to be informed as well. Using your staff as a reason for not being educated on a matter is no excuse. If you plan on having one of the most important jobs in the country, you should be able to name a supreme court case, know about world conflicts, and understand how the economy works.
